Now looking at the camera on a more realistic level of comparison, going from a very large and bulky analog polaroid camera with little to no control of how an image is going to turn out to this--it's quite the difference. This camera is about the nostalgia of a Polaroid exposure with slightly better picture quality and the luxury of choosing which photos you want to print. If you look at the camera from that perspective then you'll understand why I gave it such a great review. It's great for what it is. Don't expect it to be more than that. It's a great, thought out, fun product.
I have only had the camera a few weeks. Since there have been quite a few reviews already posted, here are just a few thoughts based on my experience to date.
CAMERA BUILD: It feels like an inexpensive camera, perhaps because it is one. It has been described as bulky. My response would be 'Compared to which other cameras that print pictures?" I am impressed at its size versus what it can do. I concur with input from other buyers that the door to the printer paper pops open too easily. Likewise, I find the camera sometimes turns on when I am just putting it in the case. I find these minor annoyances.
EXTRA BATTERY: I got an extra battery. Contrary to what was written in a prior review, I have not had to reset the date & time when swapping batteries at an unhurried pace. I am not challenging the prior review, but rather speculating that there is a limited window of time in which the swap can be done without loosing that date/time data.
POLAROID CASE: A complete waste of money. I subsequently ordered a Case Logic CPL102. Camera plus two packs of paper and spare battery all fit in it. It comes with both a belt loop and over-the-shoulder strap.
PRINTS: I have taken about 75-100 pictures so far and printed out about 15. In keeping with every Polaroid camera that I have ever had, the picture is more about instant gratification than image quality. That said, I have found the image quality quite good. The picture is certainly not what I can do using a high-end printer for an image pulled from the SD chip and run through Lightroom, but it is respectable. The biggest problem I have with the prints is that they are a mite small. To make them look bigger, I have cut up some stiff paper into 4.25" x 3" pieces on which (using Excel) I had faintly printed a centered rectangle just under 3"x2". I peal off the adhesive back off a Zink print, mount it on the paper using the faint lines to position it and presto, it is a framed picture that look larger.
PRINTING PICTURES TAKEN ON OTHER CAMERAS: Let me preface the following by saying that I have only tried this with one camera - a Canon S120 shooting hi-res RAW in3:2 format. I took the 32GB chip out of that camera and put it in the Polaroid. I could see the pictures taken with the Canon. I tried to print one. It worked. Again, this was a highly limited experiment from which I am not prepared to make any generalized statement about the ability in print pictures taken by other cameras.
First of all, the plastic this camera made from feels so cheap. I mean...it supposed to be a camera, not a toy...and the price is near $160...I'm not asking for metal material at this price but it could at least be made from just better plastic. It's hard to pull out the battery cover, and all the buttons are very stiff.
the battery charger is almost half size of the camera...and you have to connect it to the camera to charge battery, not take battery out...
It's really easy to use, which is a good thing. the steps are easy to follow.
It also provides lots of shooting modes. like "sunrise" "fish eye"...However, it is a waste of time to go through those modes by just using the stiff buttons...I don't think it's wise to provide so many shooting modes while it does not have a touch screen.
I do not like the LCD screen either. I can't find the info from Polaroid's website but I don't think this LCD has a good quality.
The playback function is hard to use too. You'll have to keep click "-" or "+" button to zoom the image...and when it zooms back to the screen size...there's even a effect...like Powerpoint slidesshow effect...which slows down the speed
The most unacceptable issue of this camera, is the image quality it provides.
Polaroid promotes its "10MP" resolution...but the reality is...yes, it is "10MP", 3648 x 2736px image. but the file size I got is only 950kb, which basically means the image was saved as a compressed medium quality jpg. [I chose the best quality it can save as...]
As a graphic designer who deals with image all the time...what I've learned is, a high quality 3648 x 2736px jpg image normally can take up 3MB space or even more...
When I looked at the image on m computer screen, I can actually see the pixel noises. There were lots of color noise and some block noise. I didn't even want to try printing any photo from this camera.
I called Polaroid customer service and they said 1MB image is really big and maybe this camera is not for me...
I've tried put jpg images taken by an iphone into the SD card, but it can not read the pictures and shows "file error". But then someone figured out it does read photos taken by other cameras as long as the image has full EXIF info.
Anyway... I dont recommend this product...unless you really don't care about image quality and just want to snap and print...
And I feel sorry for Polaroid...it is going digital but this product can't even provide basic standard quality of digital images. I'd rather stuck with the old Polaroid film cameras...

La Z2300 di fatto unisce tutte le funzionalità di una fotocamera ( ripeto ... Che non eccelle in qualità ) con la possibilità di stampare foto in un piccolo formato.
Si possono dunque modificare , ritoccare e mettere i classici filtri ad effetto per poi decidere di salvarle su una SD o stamparla, ad un prezzo comunque proporzionato, offerto da amazon.
Il corpo macchina possiede soddisfacenti standard di qualità : si presenta soldida con plastiche di buona qualità.
La stampa è veloce e silenziosa.
Ovviamente è leggermente ingombrante e pesante se paragonata ad una normale fotocamera , ma va considerato il vano dove sono alloggiati i 10 fogli di carta e comunque si può trasportare tranquillamente senza sforzo.
Un buon metodo per stampare foto di altissima qualità' esiste se ci si pensa bene ... Basta farle con una reflex o una fotocamera di livello superiore , salvarle su una SD ,per poi metterla nella polaroid e stampare.
Che cosa si pretende di più a 179 euro ?
- Kamera ist relativ groß
- Drucken geht schnell und einfach
- Einstellungen sind ok
- Akku könnte besser sein (Aber wen man nicht dauernd irgendwas Druckt geht es)
PS: AN ALLE DIE MECKERN ÜBER DEN GRÜNSTICH, KÖNNEN EINFACH NICHT LESEN!
DER GRÜNSTICH VERSCHWINDET GANZ EINFACH WENN MAN BEFOR MAN DIE PAPIERE EINLEGT, DEN BELEGENDEN BARCODE ZETTEL EINLEGT! DANN WIRD DER DRUCKER KALIBRIERT! UND ES KANN LOSGEHEN!
Viel spaß damit, ich finde die Kamera super! Einfach KULT!
